According to wiki entry the current batteries are Lithium Ion. This was an upgrade from Nickel-hydrogen. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_system_of_the_International_Space_Station -

The weather has been unpredictable here in UK too (to say the least) Which comet are you hoping to capture?

AstroFest 2024 - 2nd 3rd February - Anyone going?

My pleasure! -
Based on previous observations this could go Nova very soon so those of you that are bored waiting for Betelgeuse to go, this might fill the gap. Here's a quick wiki piece on it https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T_Coronae_Borealis And Tsula (as always) does an entertaining video https://youtu.be/8eVr82_o9rA

If we are looking at it under really high magnification are we reducing that time period? effectively time travelling ? Or is that not the case ?
-
I think everyone is too busy monitoring T Coronae Borealis

Hope the clouds don't roll in.

This might be a little bit off topic but the other day I was looking for a news app for my phone that is dedicate to astronomy, astrophysics and cosmology. I could find general science news apps and of course new scientist but couldn't find an app with news articles dedicated to astro. Fancy writing one? I'm on android by the way 😉
